Current Research on the 1969 Yreka Chinatown Archaeological Excavation and Collection (2018)
In 1969, construction of I-5 through Yreka in northern California, threatened to destroy historic building foundations and archaeological deposits associated with Yreka’s Chinese community. From January to March 1969, State Parks archaeologists conducted a salvage excavation at the location of what was Yreka’s last Chinatown, occupied from 1886 through the 1940s. This was one of the earliest excavations of a Chinese community in California. Archaeologists recorded nine features and cataloged...
"Cursed Be He that Moves My Bones:"The Archaeologist’s Role in Protecting Burial Sites in Urban Areas (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Advocacy in Archaeology: Thoughts from the Urban Frontier" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The pace of development in the northeastern US has resulted in the obliteration of cemetery sites for centuries. As populations swelled and cities expanded, formerly sacred burial locations have become valuable land ripe for development. As a result of loopholes in environmental review laws, gaps in social memory/the...
Cut and Fill-adelphia: Measuring Topographic Change since the 19th Century in Philadelphia (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Urban landscapes are some of the most intensely modified contexts in which archaeological sites are located. These modifications can dramatically impact the preservation of sites. Methodologically characterizing such changes allow archaeologists to strategically direct their efforts away from areas where disturbance has erased most...
A Cutt of the Catt’s Ears: The State of Physic in Early 18th Century Williamsburg. (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the first half of the 18th century, Williamsburg resident John Custis, Governor’s councilmember and scientific gardener, filled 69 pages of a Commonplace Book with remedies for afflictions ranging from worms and epilepsy to “after pains in the childbed”. Were these receipts—more than 180 of them--- products of Custis’s personal experience and anxiety? A reflection of his...

Investigated as part of the Issei at Barneston Project (IABP),...
The Dalles to Sandy River Wagon Road: Overland through the Columbia River Gorge (2015)
Upon reaching the Oregon Cascades, most Oregon Trail pioneers either rafted their wagons down the Columbia River or traveled the Barlow Road overland around the south side of Mt. Hood to the Willamette Valley, both treacherous options. Following the discovery of gold in eastern Oregon, reliable overland travel became an increasing priority, and the state appropriated resources in 1872 to build a wagon road through the Columbia River Gorge. Treacherous slopes, steep grades, and construction of...
Daniel Gookin's Atlantic World: An ESRI GIS Storymap for Archaeology (2016)
Presenting archaeological data to both public and academic audiences in the digital age presents problems and opportunities to make the results of excavation and survey more accessible. In some cases, one class of data is highlighted over another resulting in an unbalanced perspective. The ESRI Story map platform provides a template that can visually represent spatial information, and link this with photographs, artifact catalogs, and primary documents. What is more, Story Maps are set up to be...
Daniel Gookin’s Atlantic World: Comparative Archaeological Landscapes in Ireland and Virginia. (2013)
This poster illustrates an enhanced comparative approach to understanding colonial projects by using the archaeological biography of Daniel Gookin Jr. (1612-1685), an important but relatively unknown figure involved in English plantation projects in Ireland, Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts. The study of individual biography provides a framework from which to better situate archaeological sites of the seventeenth-century Chesapeake in the greater Atlantic world. Through creating a broader...
